One of the most insidious threats facing any property is flooding and leakage. Melting snow, heavy rainfall, and runoff can all lead to major problems if the water pools around the building or seeps in where it doesn’t belong. Flooded basements and cracked foundations are just a few of the potential worries. The only way to prevent that outcome is to make sure the water is being directed away from the building with an Ingersoll grade check.
It’s important to safeguard your long-term investment in a property. While a grade check might seem like just one more thing to do, it can save you plenty of heartache down the road. As they say, prevention is always better than a cure. By identifying potential pooling and flow issues now and re-diverting the likely flow of melt water and rain with some simple grading techniques, you can avoid breaking out the sump pump and insurance inspectors later.
